Ferdinand Dorsey, a 24 year-old student at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was shot and killed at an apartment building near campus Monday night, after "arguing with other Southern students on campus." His death came just two days after the violent death of another Southern student, Sheena Barnett, whose body was found beaten and burned inside her home Saturday. "Why don't you start calling us now and tell us exactly what's going on in these communities?" asked the mayor of Baton Rouge, rhetorically, and oddly.

According to Latvian news agency Leta, a vigilante in the audience of a Latvian screening of Black Swan last weekend shot and killed another audience member "over how loudly the deceased man was eating his popcorn." Say what you will about the suspect, but he wasn't a hypocrite; he at least had the decency to commit his noisy crime during the end credits of the film.

The AP reports today that over half the members of the Texas House have signed onto a measure requiring that universities allow students and faculty to carry concealed weapons on campus. What a terrible idea.

Let's say you're going to hold up a gun store. You'd at least load your pistol, right? Well, someone should have told that to the two guys who tried to rob a 65-year-old gun store clerk in Kansas City yesterday. The would-be robbers asked for ammo and put $40 on the counter. Then, from the Kansas City Star:

This man demonstrates what happens to a one gallon water jug when shot at point-blank range by a couple different types of guns and bullets. You don't want to mess around with this guy.

Pleasures, Alabama's drive-thru sex shop, is offering a great Valentine's Day special: Until February 15, customers can swap firearms for store credit. The store's owner, Sherri Williams told AFP, "This way, they can take something that's just lying around and swap it for something they can take home and make love, not war with."

Well, this is quite depressing. Watch as an older gentleman at a Shell gas station in Seattle robs another older gentleman at gunpoint, albeit extremely politely/apologetically. Is this the most polite armed robbery ever? The saddest? You be the judge.

Rapper Juelz Santana was arrested Tuesday after police raided his New Jersey recording studio and found two loaded pistols and a bunch of "suspected marijuana" — all "within 1,000 feet of a school zone." Oops.

Officers from the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit have a tough job, taking on some of the most dangerous assignments in New York. But if the last three months are any indication, some of them could use a little gun training.

You know what the problem with the right to bear arms is? It's not a requirement. Luckily, a few South Dakota lawmakers are hoping to change that with a law that would require anyone over 21 to buy a gun.

Now that the furor over Jared Loughner's Tucson shooting spree is subsiding, Arizona's legislature can resume the important work of making sure every citizen has as many guns as possible. What's in the state's "Firearms Omnibus" bill?

The quarterly Electric Literature has taken many of last year's thickest and most acclaimed novels (such as Jonathan Franzen's Freedom) and put bullets through them. Literally. Maybe Kindle lovers should be walking around in Kevlar vests.

CNN's John King apologized on the air yesterday for a guest's use of the term "crosshairs" while describing the Chicago mayor's race. Oh, CNN. You keep playing nanny well after the rest of us have stopped caring.

Some overeager hunter in Georgia hooked up a bunch of shotguns to be fired via webcam. A state wildlife employee found the rig last fall and reported it to the Department of Homeland Security. We're never leaving the house again.

According to the New York Times, investigators have obtained photographs, apparently taken by Tucson gunman Jared Loughner, of Loughner holding a gun against his "naked buttocks" and crotch.

As we learned earlier, everyone wasn't happy with last night's memorial service for the victims of the Arizona shooting. And by "everyone," I mean Fox News. Tonight, Jon Stewart knocked down the network's ridiculous criticism of the event. Watch inside.

Insufferable talk radio blowhard Laura Ingraham graced Bill O'Reilly with her appearance on tonight's Factor for a chat about President Obama's speech at last night's post-shooting memorial in Tucson, Arizona. Her thoughts? It was a shameless "campaign rally." Watch inside.

Yesterday, Sarah Palin released a curious video wherein she accused the lamestream media of "blood libel" against her regarding her possible role in provoking Arizona shooting suspect Jared Loughner. Here's a supercut of every breath Palin took during that speech!

The government doesn't want Emerson Begolly, the 21-year-old former Penn State student who allegedly bit two FBI agents in the parking lot of a Burger King when they tried to question him about apparent pro-jihad messages he posted online, released.

Oh look, it's a billboard for Rush Limbaugh featuring a bunch of bullet holes. This billboard is located in Tucson, Arizona. We blame the liberal media, somehow.
